Syria suspends Aleppo evacuations, blaming rebels. Image copyright GEORGE OURFALIAN The Syrian government has suspended the evacuation of civilians and fighters from eastern Aleppo, accusing rebels of breaking terms of the ceasefire.

Government sources said rebels had blocked the evacuation of civilians from two pro-government towns elsewhere in Syria, agreed under the deal. Meanwhile buses carrying people from eastern Aleppo were fired upon. At least 6,000 people have left the city since Thursday, but the UN says at least 50,000 are still trapped. Syria's army, backed by Russia, has taken nearly all rebel-held districts in eastern Aleppo. Global solidarity over Aleppo. Cameron warns leaving EU is a 'step into the dark' - BBC News.

Aleppo battle: Syria rebels 'withdraw from old city'

Image copyright AFP Syrian rebels have left the last areas they held in Aleppo's old city, an activist monitoring group has said.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the pull-back came after days of heavy fighting, as government forces moved to split the remains of the rebel enclave in Syria's second city. The rebels have held the area around the ancient citadel for four years. The Syrian military now holds about 75% of eastern Aleppo and is seeking to control the whole city. The rebels, who had been left with just a spit of land north-east of the citadel after recent government advances, abandoned it by Wednesday morning, retreating to territory they still hold further south.
Italy referendum: PM Matteo Renzi resigns after clear referendum defeat. Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi's heavy referendum defeat on Sunday has left the country facing political and economic uncertainty.

Mr Renzi announced his resignation after his plan to reform the constitution was rejected by voters. Italy's president, who he will see later on Monday, will decide whether to appoint a new PM or hold elections. There are concerns the instability may trigger a deeper crisis for Italy's already vulnerable banking sector. A consortium organising a possible bailout for one leading bank, Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena, is meeting on Monday to consider whether to pursue the rescue bid.

Why did he lose? With most ballots counted, the No vote leads with 60% against 40% for Yes, with a 70% turnout. Mr Renzi staked his political future on his attempt to change Italy's cumbersome political system.
